In the previous video, I mentioned that I didn't think ADHD was a real disorder, and that its sudden prominence could largely be attributed to social contagion.
It led to some encouragingly respectful discussion and debate where some agreed and said it was important to talk about this. Others said they thought I was being too harsh and we should always err on the side of compassion.
In this video, I wanted to dive a bit deeper into the subject addressing some of these concerns, giving a bit of personal testimony about my own history of hidden disability, what I learned through it, why I've reached my conclusions, and why I think we need to have an honest conversation about the wider implications of these things...
